Young star Kaiden Fisher took the pole position in ACT Plus/Minus qualifying with longtime White Mountain runner Jesse Switser lined-up alongside. Fisher showed the early way but Switser battled back to take control through lap 37 where mechanical woes took over under Fisher’s hood and knocked him out of contention for the night. On the restart, Raphael Lessard got back into his usual White Mountain form back in the lead of the American-Canadian Tour and standing in good position to take over the Triple Crown.
Lessard led until just after the fuel-only competition caution on lap 55 when defending Fall Foliage champion Gabe Brown took control and never relinquished it. The Center Conway driver lambasted the field, lapping all the way back to fifth on the grid and took down his second consecutive Fall Foliage 200 win with Lessard and D.J. Shaw in tow. What initially looked like a Shaw championship for the Triple Crown, Derek Gluchacki’s fourth place finish netted a tie between the two! Gluchacki’s win at Seekonk Speedway back in June became the tie-breaker with the former champion taking the laurels after a hard-fought top-five finish on the night.

The Kids Division got Saturday’s feature racing under way with Makenzi Sicard and Kiptyn Aldrich leading the show before Chloe Doyle and Madison Potter ended up in the mix for all lady top three. After a stretch of caution flags, Owen Dupuis entered the picture on lap eight and had the lead by lap 11 over Sicard before a big turn two pileup claimed several cars. Dupuis kept his nose clean out front followed across the line by Bella Hamel and Chloe Doyle.
The sophomore Austin Sicard took off like a rocket to lead the way for the Flying Tigers before Logan Powers pounced underneath to lead lap nine over Austin and uncle, Shane Sicard. The elder Sicard made his way under Powers to lead lap sixteen but Powers remained in the hunt as they ran door to door. Shane Sicard finally got the edge and took off for his first win of the 2025 season with Luke Peters getting by Powers for second in the final laps.

Twin 20-lap segments for the Late Models saw Dustin Jackson go lights out to take the first segment win over Cody LeBlanc sub driving for Nick Miller on Saturday night. The same could be said in segment two with Chris Moulton shining bright out front. In the end, Dustin Jackson’s third-place run in segment two cemented his win with four points to Kodi Sabin’s five point finale with Moulton taking third in the overall.
With double features on the line for the Fall Foliage Strictly Stock Minis, the rookies showed up in spades. Feature No. 1 saw St. Johnsbury’s Logan Farnsworth run away with the green-to-checkers win, career win No. 1 for the rookie point leader over J.J. Goodbout and fellow rookie Jackson Hunt. With the handicap refigured for the second feature, Hunt and Jason Ball led the field to green. Big trouble struck championship hopefuls Donnie Baumgardner and Jacob Roy on lap 4 but once again it was a rookie out front. Jackson Hunt kept his Cavalier pointed ahead and never slowed to take his first career win in the Strictly Mini ranks with Goodbout again taking second and Jason Ball rounding out the second podium.
